Gabriel's Retaliation (Dark Patriots Book 2)

Gabriel is a man who has dedicated his life to serving his country, both within and outside the military realm. His life has been filled with meaningful work and the camaraderie of his fellow brothers-in-arms. However, there is one thing he lacks: someone special to share his life with. His past is too dangerous to allow for such a connection, even if he secretly desires it.

When a request for assistance in cleaning up a criminal family comes his way, Gabriel finds himself going undercover in the role of a Mafia capo. Once he arrives at his assigned location, his eyes fall upon a woman he cannot forget. He watches her from the shadows, though she remains unaware of his presence, and he aches for her. Unbeknownst to Gabriel, he is not the only one who has set his sights on this woman, as there is another who believes he has a prior claim and is unwilling to let her go.

Gemma, on the other hand, knows that it is time for her to walk away from the life she has known. This is no way to live, and if she is ever to have a true life, she must leave it all behind. As she is planning her escape, a man who has been pursuing her for years becomes tired of waiting and forces her to run. In her flight, she ends up in the arms of Gabriel, a man she has been fascinated by since their first encounter. However, he is part of the very world she is running from, and there seems to be no way for them to be together.

By rescuing Gemma, Gabriel must reveal his true mission in order to protect her. To do so, he must claim her as his own. He will need to utilize all of his considerable resources, savvy, and lethalness to save her and keep her safe. But as Gemma learns the truth about Gabriel's identity, will she be able to accept it, or will Gabriel's Retaliation mark the end of their chance at a beautiful future together?
